"Over the phone, we discussed prices on a key that wasn’t working anymore to be reprogrammed and one duplicated for a spare. I was quoted $150 for my key to be fixed/reprogrammed and $280 total for my key to be reprogrammed then duplicated for spare. I let him know I was at work but my mother was at my home with my key and the car and she’ll be there to give payment upon completion of work. She gave him the key and he was unable to reprogram it because he said there was corrosion and would have to make a completely new key for $290. I told him I’d pass at that price because the original quote was for two keys at that price and also Ive been quoted way cheaper elsewhere for one key. He then said it’ll be $125 diagnostics fee if I didn’t want to pay 280 for him to make me a new key!! I told him he never discussed a diagnostic fee and he didn’t diagnose anything, I told him before he came the key wasn’t working anymore. I didn’t need to pay $125 for what I already knew and discussed with him prior. Then when my mom came out to get the key back this a****** kept going off about owing him $125 and pulled off refusing to give back my key! (It didn’t work anyways). If he felt he was right to charge me $125 for not being able to reprogram my key cool, take it up with the small claims court, but to take it in your own hands and steal the key from my mom was bs."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Keyless locks are often considered safer since they’re protected by passcodes instead of a physical key, making it harder to be picked. However, they are not infallible. And like all electronic devices, outdated models are more prone to problems and safety concerns. If you’ve experienced multiple lockouts in the past year, or your lock is responding slower than usual after you key in the passcode, it might be time to upgrade to a newer one. Even if your lock is working fine, you should still change your access code at least twice a year.

Many local hardware stores have the equipment to copy basic keys at a low cost. Some locations may have freestanding machines where you can pick out a blank and insert it and your original key into the duplicating machine.

It’s best to avoid using oil-based lubricants within a lock because they attract larger amounts of dust and debris. When this occurs, it can make it harder for you to operate the lock, or it can even cause damage to the internal locking mechanism. A dry lubricant is the ideal solution instead.

There are different types of deadbolts. The most common type is a single-cylinder deadbolt, which you may recognize on your front door. This type of lock has a keyhole on the outside and a thumb turn on the inside. A double-cylinder deadbolt has two locking mechanisms and requires a key to engage on the inside as well as the outside. 

Yes, as long as it’s thick enough for the deadbolt. Most interior hollow core doors are at least 1 1/2-inches thick, which is usually the minimum requirement for a deadbolt. You’ll want to find the lock block first before installing. Also, most hollow doors require additional reinforcement for locks, such as a reinforcement plate or plywood block.
